???? 據2月19日Energy Voice報道，埃尼集團公布，該公司2020年第四季度業績強勁，勘探和生產部門調整后營業利潤為8.02億歐元(9.725億美元)。在強勁的油價推動下，勘探開發成果較上一季度增長了60%。
????埃尼首席執行官克勞迪奧·德斯卡爾茲表示，2020年是“獨一無二的一年”，但該公司對危機反應迅速，削減了資本支出，增強了資產的流動性，同時繼續進行能源轉型。
????第四季度調整后的凈利潤為6600萬歐元(8000萬美元)，但埃尼全年虧損7.4億歐元(8.97億美元)。全年調整后的息稅前利潤為19億歐元(23億美元)。
????德斯卡爾茲表示："在油價每桶44美元的情況下，我們第四季營運利潤和凈利潤表現優于預期，這得益于我們的營運現金產生能力和有效的危機應對能力。上游業務正在不斷復蘇, 而我們脫碳產品的生產和銷售業務在本年度取得了優異的業績，這得益于埃尼天然氣公司（Eni Gas e Luce）息稅前利潤增長17%，生物精煉加工業務增長130%，以及已安裝和批準的1千兆瓦太陽能和風力發電新產能。”
????他指出，埃尼集團將進入英國戰略性的Dogger Bank海上風電項目，這將是世界上該領域最大的項目。
????德斯卡爾茲補充道，借款水平仍與2019年底大致相同。該公司調整后的現金流為67億歐元(合81.2億美元)，足以支付資本支出，還有17億歐元(合20.6億美元)的剩余資金。埃尼集團將2020年的資本支出較原計劃削減了35%。
????2020年該公司第四季度的產量下降了11%，為每天171萬桶。埃尼集團將減產歸咎于新冠肺炎疫情和歐佩克+減產，以及埃及天然氣需求下降。
????埃尼在本季度的產量為80.9萬桶/天，同比下降13%。利比亞的減產和歐佩克+的減產在一定程度上抵消了墨西哥1區、安哥拉Agogo start和剛果布拉柴維爾Nenè 2B的產量增長。埃尼預計將在第一季度重啟埃及的Damietta液化天然氣工廠。
????隨著油價的上漲，埃尼集團2020年第四季度的煉油利潤同比下降了95%。意大利國內需求下降了約20%。
????除了油氣業務，埃尼還表示在能源轉型方面取得了進展。根據與Falck可再生能源公司(Falck Renewables)達成的一項協議，該公司已進軍到美國可再生能源市場，例如風能和太陽能。
????該公司還在努力捕獲和抵消碳排放。英國石油和天然氣管理局(OGA)授予該公司在利物浦灣建造一個碳儲存項目的許可證。埃尼集團還投資了林業項目，如贊比亞的盧安瓜社區森林項目。

????Oil price recovery drives E&P result for Eni
????Eni reported strong results for the fourth quarter, with an adjusted operating profit of 802 million euros ($972.5mn) reported at its exploration and production unit.
????E&P results were up 60% from the previous quarter, with stronger oil prices driving the recovery.
????Eni’s CEO Claudio Descalzi said 2020 had been a “year like no other” but that the company had reacted quickly to the crisis. It cut capital expenditure and strengthened liquidity, while continuing its energy transition shift.
????Adjusted net profit in the fourth quarter was 66mn euros ($80mn). For the full year, it reported a loss of 740mn euros ($897mn). Adjusted EBIT was 1.9 billion euros ($2.3bn) for the full year.
????“The fourth quarter operating profit and net profit outperformed estimates, achieved through a $44 per barrel oil price, underpinned by our operating cash generation and the effectiveness of our response to the crisis,” Descalzi said.
????“The upstream business is strengthening its recovery, while our businesses in the production and sale of decarbonised products achieved excellent results in the year, driven by a 17% EBIT increase from Eni Gas e Luce, a 130% increase in bio-refining processing and 1 GW of new solar and wind generation capacity already installed or sanctioned.”
????The CEO noted Eni’s entry into the UK’s strategic Dogger Bank offshore wind project, “which will be the largest in the world in the sector”.
????Borrowing remains around the same level as at the end of 2019, he continued. The company’s adjusted cash flow of 6.7bn euros ($8.12bn) was enough to cover capex with 1.7bn euros ($2.06bn) to spare. Eni cut capex by 35% from its original plans for 2020.
????Production in the fourth quarter was down 11%, at 1.71mn barrels of oil equivalent per day. Eni blamed the decrease on COVID-19 and OPEC+ production cuts, in addition to lower gas demand primarily in Egypt.
????Eni produced 809,000 bpd of liquids in the quarter, down 13% year on year. Reductions in Libya and as a result of OPEC+ cuts were somewhat offset by growth in Mexico at Area 1, Angola’s Agogo start and the Nenè phase 2B in Congo Brazzaville.
????The Italian company expects to restart the Damietta LNG plant in Egypt in the first quarter.
????As oil prices rose, Eni’s refining margin in the fourth quarter fell by 95% year on year. Demand in Italy was down around 20%.
????Beyond its hydrocarbon business, Eni flagged up progress in the energy transition. It has expanded into the US renewable market under a deal with Falck Renewables, covering wind and solar, for instance.
????It is also working to capture and offset emissions. The UK’s Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) awarded it a licence to build a carbon storage project in the Liverpool Bay. Eni has also invested in forestry projects, such as the Luangwa Community Forest Project in Zambia.
